Waikiki Aquarium (05/12/08) - Page 3 - DaBoyZ05's Photos

Aloha,
I took Tammi to the Waikiki Aquarium. She really enjoyed walking around and seeing all the cool different animals. Really enjoyed the Hawaiian Monk Seal exhibit. Afterwards we headed to the Moana Surfrider for a view from the 6th floor.
